I was waiting for the language of the vote to be settled on, myself... but
if we're going with what was suggested:
1) Should 'nofollow' be added to links in user profile (signatures and
personal information blocks)?
+1
2) Should 'nofollow' be added to links in comments?
-1
3) Should 'nofollow' be added to links in articles?
-1
Reasoning is: comments and articles are already moderated. Either links are
good and valid, or bad and should be removed entirely. Nofollow is a
wishy-washy middle ground. User profiles would likely be too much work to
moderate, so a reluctant +1 there, even though I'd like to remain with my
hardline stance.

Subject: [theforum] Vote re: nofollow tags in articles
Dean called a vote on the matter of whether or not to continue evolt's
current procedure of adding nofollow tags to links in articles on the site.
The thread began here:
http://lists.evolt.org/theforumarchive/Week-of-Mon-20071008/thread.html
And continued here:
http://lists.evolt.org/theforumarchive/Week-of-Mon-20071015/thread.html
The voting was supposed to end this weekend past, but no one voted over the
weekend and I was just wondering if that was because
a) no one cares who has not already voted,
b) people were ignoring the thread, and unaware that a
vote was called, or
c) no one is subscribed to the forum anymore :-)
I can't do much about a) or c) but, since there was no message posted to
the forum with "vote" in the subject, I figured I'd post this to get their
attention, and maybe let them weigh in with their opinions, too.
Thanks,
-dave ...wondering about the legality of extending the election due to low
voter turnout :-)
